Fears that Marvel’s African-American movie ‘Black Panther‘ would bomb in the United Kingdom have been obliterated today.
Why?
Astonishing news below…
Citing the supposed difficulty some studios had when marketing movies fronted by actors of colour industry insiders feared ‘Panther’ would fail to fly commercially outside of the United States.
Fortunately, buzz fuelled by social media and word of mouth reviews have seen the project earn $2.67 million in 24 hours…the highest opening day number of the year.
‘Screen Daily’ reports…
The figure tops Fifty Shades Freed, which took £2.66m when it opened last Friday (Feb 9). The biggest ever official opening weekend for a Marvel film is Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which posted £18m including £3.6m in previews.
‘Panther’ is now expected to recoup its $200 million budget by the end of its opening week.
Its black and black is fabulous!
I love your nickname
I’m so proud.
Black is the new black
Now maybe that black guy over at vogue can give these actresses an individual cover.
We know that Angela B would slay on vogue.
Black with a capital B!
Some great black british & black american actors in this film.
They did promote the film in the UK very well saw Daniel Kalyuua on GMUK
excited to see it already pre-booked my ticket. Easy sell out global, not sure why anywhere on earth it would be assumed this would flop its a super-hero movie. Them being black makes it even more cooler. A fresh outlook on an old tale. 10/10
None of these people are polarizing or controversial. It’s just talented actors and actresses in a superhero movie. Feels good to inspire!
LOL well for a moment i thought the film was breaking the all time record for an opening weekend or day or something. This is cute but still means nothing. We are in mid February 🙂
More real good numbers will come for sure. No need to report basic pshit.
Report the GOOD stuff when it comes.
It is stimated to open with 150 mill in the USA for the whole weekend, which is huge. It´s not rare for a comic book movie anymore. But Marvel waited so long to do this superhero and movie because they are always so worried about alienating a part of the audience while focusing on minorities. The number is huge because it shows that PEOPLE are here for it, unlike what they have always believed. They have also been scared of giving Black Widow a movie for the same reason. DC ended giving it to a woman first despite starting their universe way later.
JOHNVIDAL The reason I call you an Uncle Tom and recognize your agenda is because African Americans have been OPPRESSED more than any other race or minority group. As a woman of color, I understand, empathize, and sympathize with the plight and low socioeconomic status of African Americans historically and currently. When you purposefully try to push other minority groups such as white woman or gays as having the same oppression as black people that means you have an agenda and you are trying to marginalize the oppression of black people. You keep saying I need to “read a book.” Girl I have written a few books and it seems like you are the one who needs to “read books” instead of pushing your agenda (purposefully or unintentionally) because you can no longer use the excuse you are naive since I educated you.
Are u pucking serious? LOL So you recognize that you have an agenda but others cannot have one? Are u actually pfucking serious? YOU, as a member of a minority group that was opressed for so long should empathize with all types of discrimination and opressions. Do u have any idea of the things that happen in this world? Girl there is more than black people in the USA in 2018. All my support but there are so many terrible things people are suffering out there that you trying to impose to others the idea that only your cause is worth it is repulsive. I´m sorry.
You have always been arrogant since day one and you keep on constantly proving it. You have written books my ass LOL Your diary you mean? 🙂
If only you could let the stupidity of the Uncle Tom thing (taht I don´t even know the meaning of) and you obsession with realting me to s****** blonde go then maybe you could start being taking seriously as a good human being with some brains. I hope this is the last of it. Have a nice day and keep opening your mind.
Yeah but infinity war is coming to snatch that record and black panther’s wig
